Tomato juice is the cure to all ills. Really. I have no doubt that it's a good choice to drink some on a ride. Some people really dislike it, though, but if you like it or are indifferent, go for it!!

To explain how fond I am of it, my mom told me that she'd drink a lot of it when she was pregnant with me and subject to nausea. I think it's something about the sodium that makes it helpful for that. A pregnant woman has told me that it made her more nauseous just to think about drinking tomato juice, though.

I'll have tomato juice whenever I need to comfort an unhappy stomach, or to prevent my stomach to go unhappy. Works well as a prophylactic against airplane food, among other things. Also works well if you've had one too many drinks (avoid adding vodka).

I can imagine it being really wonderful on a very hot day. I'll try that if there can be a very hot day in my summer.........
